Stories: Episode 39: Theresa Fleming – Equine Learning and Literacy Advocates E.L.L.A

Theresa Fleming joins us to share about their work using Miniature Horses to promote literacy – how cool is that! Through their non profit charity, Miniature Horses get kids excited about reading, and about the local Colorado history. We also chat about senior horses, and how they’re still able to make a difference through these unique programs.
